ORSP Training Workshops

ORSP Training Workshops

ORSP Training ORSP gives one-hour training presentations on topics ranging from budget preparation to searching for funding opportunities to general grant writing tips. Most presentations are offered 2-4 times throughout the year, but can also be given “on-demand” at the request of a department. UM faculty and staff can view the schedule and sign up for workshops at http://www.research.olemiss.edu/upcoming-presentations, and view past workshop presentations http://www.research.olemiss.edu/presentations.

Is there something you need to know as an investigator, but you don’t see a training workshop about it on the schedule or in the catalog? E-mail to request training or information resources.
